G'day Guys

firstly let me intrduce myself

Nick: Always Drifting

Location: Victoria

Drive an R33 Skyline Gtst

So why am i looking for tassie Drifters?

easy, planing a tirp to tassie along with a few others, to

see what you guys have in the way of Drift down there, and show

the hay drivers what its all about.

we plan on bringin a small crew, big drift spec s13 silvia, 180sx, skyline R33

and an old school celica <--- dont be fooled it can really drift.

Down to the nitty gritty

Can anyone tell us of some great areas to drift around?

We would like to meet up with as many drifters as possible whilst we are there,

and film as much of the action as posible.

When we have a final date it would be good to orgainise a good meet and greet.

hope to hear from you guys.

we are trying to organise drift days, but have had some public laibility issues.

there are 'some' places for drift but not suitable for continuous use.

we have few guys down here keen on the drift, i just need an engine to get myself drifting.

The big roblem here is pot holes- there everywhere! If you wanted to get some good video you could drift up mount wellington, but only in the summer...fantastic view/background. Like with most things car related, tassie is a little behind but even if you don't get the video you want, come back because things are really starting to take off. Maybe you could organise a track to drift on as there are a lot of moddified skylines that are race only spec.

Keep in touch, so we can spread the word for you.

Thanks Smooth

heard from a couple of people to look out for the pot holes.

Mount Wellington is looking pretty good at the moment for some nice footage

out of the skyline.

so far its looking like it will be around the start of august for the trip down.

hoping for some wet weather to make it a bit more spicy.

Mount Wellington would be very dangerous...farked road, ice and no run off. One fark up and there would be a fair chance your dead

I have always wanted to drift grasstree hill and film it...in car camera plus afew people dotted along the road side...be "do-able" if you could block off the road at night for about 30mins. Have a car in front with a radio to tell you if a car is coming...only problem would be the wildlife

you can get onto baskerville for the day for about $99 per person....Symmons costs alot of hire it out but im not sure of the prices

no worries...by all means check her out but some parts of road doesn't get alot of sun so look out for ice...its always cold and wet up that bloody mountain :)

Grasstree is in the south of the state...about 15mins out of hobart and connects Geilston bay with Richmond...great road to drive, smooth with no pot holes and lots of twisties :( I love powering over there in the 180sx but have never tried to drift the whole hill...too many blind corners so a night run would be best (you can see the lights) but then you have to watch out for the wildlife...give me a yell if your going up, i will be there :)

Baskerville isn't a bad track but is in need of repair. Lots of cracks in the track and what not...i always seem to have bad luck at that track as well...brake caliper on the 180 shat it self last time, wrote off a RX7 the time before that when the throttle jammed wide open....

update:

with any fun a price tag is attached.

this week our number of car listed for some tassie fun

has been cut by half.

the 180 has been sold.

the old school celica has self detructed mid drift. with the Diff seizing and the rest of the drive line destroyed whilst the foot was still on the floor. its in need of a complete rebuild.

down to 2 cars for the trip we still plan on getting to tassie with the best we can.

S13 has been garaged to have a few things seen to.

what is there in the way of tyre shops in south tassie?

can some one inform me about higher octane petrol in tassie - been told not may stations

have high octane for sale. is this true?

Unless your in a car club(or know someone who is) then you'd better bring some octane booster with you...

As for tyre shops, theres heaps in the south(as long as you don't have 19's...). They would be able to hook you up with most tyre brands, except nitto's.(Just guessing about the nitto's).

u outta check out the scenic East coast,

from the seaside town Bicheno to the Midlands Hway via Lake Leake road is excellent.. steep and winding up and steep and fast down with a scenic backdrop

also from St Helens thru the Weldborough Pass is a tight climb with great views and less traffic and less top speed takes u to scottsdale...where the infamous sideling road starts.

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
